A man in Buffalo pulled off his coat and jumped in the canal to save a woman from drowning, when a pick-pocket stole his pocket-book from his coat, and the woman swore at him for palling ber hair in his efforts to save her life. There isn't much inducement in Buffalo for a man to act as a retriever. Schenectady, New York, was visited with a' severe shock ef an earthquake yesterday forenoon. The inhabitants rushed, terror stricken, into the streets, and the excitement was intense. Much eoniosion prevailed, and it was impossi ble to ascertain whether any serious dam age had been done. The monthly calendar of fires in this country, where the loss is upwards of $30,000, for September, exhibits an alarm ing increase orer the previous month, and is altogether unparalleled for the same month in any previoos year. Tbe total for the month was $5,446,000. In September, 1869, it was $3,2 12, 000, making the increase p8U4,uuu. , , ; , ' , A telegram from ConneautvlIIe, Penn sylvania, October 20, says: At eleven o'clock this morning we felt two distinct shocks like that ef an earthquake, of from two to five minutes duration.

They killed and wounded two hundred, and took thirteen prisoners. The French foreign office has issued a circular to n antral powers, denying any responsibility for the present war. Tbe representations made by Prussia aa to the state of affairs in Paris, are affirmed as utterly untrue. France desires a peace a durable peace. NEWS YIA TOURS. Tours, October 20. The Prussians are returning toward Paris without seeking a battle with the French forces on the right bank of the Loire. The Prussians are still in peaceful occupation of Orleans. Owing to their great losses at Chateau d'Un, the Prussians nearly destroyed that town by fire. At Chateau d'Neuf, where the Prussians attacked and were beaten off, they took revenge by ex acting heavy contributions of money. The inhabitants paid the sum, heavy as it was, within 50,000 francs. The Ger mans then evacuated the place, but threatened to return soon and collect the balance or burn the town. The best answer te tbe Prasaian dis patches saying their loss waa trifling be fore Paris on the 13th, on the occasion of the sortie of the Parisians, Is found in an official military report just published, showing ihmk mttm Un MUo ilr Pn- sians demanded a truce of five hours in order to bnry their dead. Letters-received here from Paris to the 15th, state that eitizens and troops are still in the best of spirits, and hopeful as to the result. The Prussians have not been able to erect any batteries, owing to the terrible artillery fire from the forts and rigorons sorties of the besieged. A dispatch from Roc ray, near the Bel gian border, yesterday, announces that a balloon from Paris had just landed, Adrioea from Paris state that a number of Americans who had obtained passes from the Prussian authorities outside of the city fonnd it impossible to leare. The . Prussians explained that owing to certain strategical reasons Americans would not be allowed to leave by any of the nsual roads. The Prussians advised the Americans to leare by boat, going down the Seine, and promised their pro tection by that route. Minister Washbnme has informed Jules Favre that he himself will remain in Paris as long as the Government author ities, - ' . i . : ; It is announced that the supply of floor in Paris is sufficient for firs months. THE TIMES OX PRUSSIAN ARROGANCE. Las don, October 20. The Timet cen sures the arrogance of the Prussians in their terms for peace, and approves the language of the Emperor, that no Gov ernment yielding a foot of French terri tory aa a condition of peace could retain its power a day. It is rumored that the mission of La mier from the French Government to London was to negotiate a loan. ( :- ' The Stoning Telegraph has reason to believe that Bourbake's refusal to command the beaten army of the Loire was due to a very natural feeling, and that his offer to sommand the Aftay of the North is considered a subterfuge, as that army is not likely to be formed at all. CONDUCT OF THE PRUSSIANS. The sonductof the Germans in Orleans, according to the Prussian account: is different from that ascribed to them by the French., They, were perfectly orderly, and the occupation" was nnattended by any violence or ex tnrtiwn. - -: ! A Prussian paper says tliat in the absence of the skilled men from their usual Indus try, Germany is s heavier loser than France by the war. ; , .. '.' : . FROM CHINA. Later advices from China.. are much more pacific. A dispatch dated. Tsien-Tsien, September - 30, says that two Mandarins -had, been. iranepor ted, and fifteen men had been beheaded for com plicity in the outrages on French residents. Besides this, an embassy is preparing to go to France. The India mails are all forwarded by way of Brindise at present. ITALY. THE POPE. A circular has been issued by the Italian Government protesting against the rumors of ill treatment of the Pope. He is perfectly free and independent.

Hep worth proposed a sub stitute for article nine of the Constitution, inviting to fellowship all who call themselves cnristians. 1 lie amendment was disenssed pro and con with irreat spirit. Rev. C'althrope, of Syracuse, rep-resentinz the left win?, proposed an amendment that nothing therein shall be construed aa in any way interfering with the Christian basis of the Conference. Rer. J. May, of Newburyport, moved to substitute the words "Provided that nothing in this article be construed to remove the Conference from a Christian basis." Rer. J. L. Hatch proposed to amend Mr. Hepworth's substitute to read : "Those, who accept Christiaaity as interpreted simply as lore to God and lore to man." Rer. Bellows made a strong speech for letting the ninth article alone, and not attempting to declare lore to God and lore to man tne wnole object and end ot the denomination. The substitute of Rev. Morey was adopted. As amendments to tbe Constitution re quire a two-thirds assent, a rote by yeas and nays was called for, and resulted 216 yeas to 189 nays, a defeat of the proposi tion. The Convention then adjourned until tomorrow. EVANGELICAL EDUCATION SOCIETY..

The statement was published in various newspapers recently that a proposition had been made for the aale of Cuba to the United btates, but on inquiry to-dar it was ascertained that none of the Govern ment authorities have any knowledge of such a movement. PRESERVATION OF NEUTRALITY. The United States steamer Guerriere has been ordered to cruise around the bay of New York to insure respect for the presidents neutrality proclamation among armed ressels of the French and Prussian belligerents. CABINET GOSSIP. Hit now seems almost certain that Mr. Delano will not succeed Secretary Cox as Secretary or the Interior. When he decided to accept the appointment, it waa with the understanding that he should name his successor as Commis sioner. An unexpected pressure has been brought upon the President to recall his nromise to Mr. Delano, and consult lead- in ir politicians in selecting the new Com missioner of Internal Rerenue, which the President has felt lorced to yield to and accordingly Mr. Delano is informed of the change in the President's intention, as Mr. Delano's acceptance of the Interior portfolio was made contingent upon being allowed to name tbe new Commissioner, and will continue to remain in his present position! It is fully believed that Pennsylvania will now be represented in the Cabinet.PREPARING FOR NEW YORK ELECTION. .Information received here shows that some more marines hare been ordered to New York.

At the latter place' a track will be laid to the Fair Grounds, and this train will be exhibited at the fair.

Jl'DGE GBIEB. A High Tribate af Respect ef the Vailed State rent Ceart at Lanis. From tbe St.' Loola Republics!!. Hon. J. R. Doolittle, of Wisconsin, (who is now engaged in the practice of law in Chicago), in the argument of an important case before the United States District Court in this city last winter, made the following eloquent allusion to tbe late Justice Grier, in his speech to tbe court and jury, and now that Justice Gner has passed away, we think it a just and proper tribute to his memory to pub lish it : . Qsxii.smfw or Tua Jurt . The bitch es! encomium ever pronounced nnou a judge retiring from the bench, I heard, not long since, 111 rraeuington. wnen Justice Grier left the Snpreme Court, in consequence of increasing infirmities, all tbe Judges, witn tne Chief Justice at their head) called to pay their respects to mm at nis rooms, it was my good lor- tune to be present. I shall never forget that scene, as they stood around that grand old man, whose infirmities would not allow him to stand. sitting in his arm-chair, his eye undimmed by age, his massive head covered with air white as snow. For a moment they stood around him in silence and in tears. Then the Chief Justice, in an address, beautiful in ex pression, full 01 pathos, yet true in every word, in a voice tremulous with emotion. read to him a farewell testimonial, sisrned by ail tne judges. After speaking of his great learning, his long experience, and his high judicial character, the Chief Justice crowned the encomium in saying, " You have, sir, a positive enthusiasm for justice ; you love the right, you hate tbe wrong." If the Court please, in all situations in this life, high or low, on the bench, or in the jury box whenever a man may be called to act upon doubtful and trying questions, without clear and certain lights, outside, to guide him, let him, like Justice Grier, look within ; let him consult that divine instinct which God has planted in every heart, stronger and often truer than mere reason, which says, "do justice; spare the inocent; punish the guilty only." Horace Greeley lately visited a western town where swearing is punished by a fine of twenty-five cents for each offense. Some one stole his umbrella and Eut a litter of kittens in his old hat, and, y compromising the matter the $200 be got for his lecture just paid for his swearing and f 4 over. Chicago Tribune.

CORRI8PONDIN0 SECRETARY'S REPORT. Professor Stevens, Corresponding Sec retary of the Society, read hissemi-an-nsal report. The report in the opening pressed the nseesafty of education in ' order to streng then the Baptist cause in the State. He said, that a question of great import ance waa the prosperity of Denison University at Granrille; that the college had no superior in Ohio. In referring to the work of the Society, he said the progress had been slow ; for eleren years the receipts had been only forty-two dollars per year. In 1842 the sum of 9500 was deemed a large sum to be raised in Ohio for Baptist educational purposes. For the four years following the contributions were $500, and for ten years preceding 1863 the donations to the Society were only $1,259, a fraction of $135 per year. From the organization of the Society up to June, 1863, a period of thirty-two years, the total proceeds ef the Society was only $5,523, distributed among serenty. During the last seven years the total sum was $22,474, and the number ot benehciaries lbo. $6,000 is necessary for the current needs of the Society during the present year. Beneficiaries of the Society during the present year have received free tuition, and preparatory students receive from eighty to one hundred dollars per year, wnicn naroiy supports tnem. The nresent nroceeda of the Kocintv are only about half of what is needed for the work. 1 he remedy tor the deficiency is work; with work will come a higher life in the churches as a whole, and increased liberality will be needed every year. The cause should have a competent superintendent, and a co-operation of all the ohnrches if the work is done. Nearly two-thirds of the young men studying for the ministry need help. The report closed with an earnest appeal to the Baptists of the State to extend aid and encouragement to Denison University at Granville. EDUCATIONAL SPIRIT. Remarks were made on the report, af ter its conclusion, by Messrs. Worrell, of Cincinnati; Carman, of Norwalk; Bryant, of Urbana; Shepardson, of Granville ; Sage, of Cincinnati ; Prof. Stevens, of Granville ; 'Jeffrey, of Cincinnati ; and Suydam, of Toledo ; and the sentiment manifested was unanimous in favor of increased earnestness in the work of education. The importance of education as a preparation for the ministry, as a help to the understanding of the people, and as a means generally of for-ward i n g ml i ui on s w sch, w as ehow u -in -an able manner. Indeed the fruit of educa tion showed itself in the discussion of the subject. A liberal, comprehensive, and practical riew was taken, and that kind of enthusiasm was manifested which showed that the Society was in earnest, and did not propose to let the matter stop with a mere array of words. ; REPORT OF COMMITTEE. " The committee to whom was referred the subject of the education of women made a report, recommending the formation of a Female Education Society im mediately after adjournment, which report was agreed to, and an adjournment forthwith followed. Feaiale Edacatiea Seeiety. Rev. J. C. Fernald, of Granville, offered for adoption a constitution for the Ohio Baptist Female Education Society, which was adopted. THK CONSTITUTION Provides tha$ the object of the Society shall be to create a deeper interest in the education of women ; to assist in the education of indigent females, preference to be given to the daughters of mission aries and pastors ; that the payment of one dollar shall, constitute membership for one year, and of twenty-five dollars membership for life; that the annual meeting shall be at the time of the com mence meat exercises at Granville ; that besides a President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer, there shall be a Hoard of twelve Trustees ; and that the Society shall be the legal recipient of lunds contributea tor lemale education. Quite a numbor of ladies and gentlemen present having signified their willingness to pay one dollar each and thus become members, the Society proceeded to the election of the following OFFICERS. President Rev. D. A. Randall, of Co lumbus. Vice President Rev. J. C. Fernald, of Uranvme. Secretary Rev. D. Shepardson, of Granville. Treasurer Mrs. E. M. Downer, of Granville. Board of Trustees Dr. M. Stone, Rev. A. H. Strong, Ker. a. a: Colby, Ker. K. Jeffrey, Irof. H. Thresher, President 8. Talbot, Mrs. Dr. Spelman, Mrs. E. S. Shepardson, Miss Mary O. Brooks, Mrs. George Parsons, Mrs. A. E. Stevens, of Dayton, and Mrs. Dr. Worrell, of Piqua. After appointing Mrs. D. M. Shepard son to take charge of the funds, and plaoe them in the hands of the Treasu rer, the society adjourned with prayer. Ohie Baptist State Ceaveatiea. The President, Mr. J. M. Hoyt, of Cleve land, called the Ohio Baptist Convention to order at 24 o'clock in the afternoon. After singing, led by Mr. Dunbar, Rev. Mr. Harmon, of Mt. Washington, conducted devotional exercises. PRESIDENT'S ANNUAL ADDRESS. President Hoyt then proceeded to deliver his opening address, to which the large assemblage in the church gave un divided attention. Mr. Hoyt is a rapid speaker, but at the same time gives his views clearly and distinctly, and in a shape that gives evidence of much profitable thought. His rare accomplishments as a presiding officer have been among the causes of his re-election to the Presi dency of the Convention several times. Apparently a strict Parliamentarian, he applies the rules without nndne formality ; and by an occasional check in one place and a practical sug gestion in another, he anticipates ob structions and keeps the business moving with admirable harmony, and prevents, to a great extent, those annoying entan glements to which almost every body of such a size is'more or less subject. In his address yesterday he displayed an exten sive knowledge and a superior education, and exhibited a zeal in church matters that would leave an impression that his field was the pulpit. He opened by al luding to the significant character of such a religious gathering, and reminded 'those participating of their high duties as they, stood .abreast with others ;. in the . great i conflict ; against wrong.- Political - bodies, - .he ' said, were born : ia the present life, but a religious body, with its relations to a higher life, waa the most significant, imposing and dignified fact in human affairs. He referred to the eventful history of the past year; to the presumptuous assemblage in the imperial city, as the representatives of absolutism, with the blasphemous declaration that their head was of infallible wisdom. Forty-eight hours after the insult war broke out, and their head was hurled from the throne. God had purposes he would fulfill ; however numerous were organizations for evil they wonld pass away ; justice might be expected to come out of the conflicts in Europe. Ideas, and not cannon, had dethroned the Pope. The address covered a ' considerable range, and was a very scholarly production. PROGRAMME. J lAt the conclusion of the address, Rev. J.W. Oaborn, from the Committee of Arrangements, presented a programme for the Convention, which was objected to on account of the fact that the missionary sermon had been placed on the list for Sunday, when many of the delegates wonld be gone. The report was accordingly recommitted for revision, and the Committee immediately submitted a programme for yesterday afternoon, which was adopted. COMMITTEES.

Col porteur of the American Tract Society, who furnished excellent entertainment for the Convention during the absence of the committee. Mr. Vassar is one of those plain, earnest men, with a marvelous quantity of information as to missionary work and church history, that are calculated to gain the attention of an audience and give . much practical instruction, and at the same time keep their hearers in an excellent humor without overstepping the bounds of propriety. Dressed very plainly, and not at all clerically, his whole energy appears to be wrapoed up in the work in which he is engaged. He exhibits the greatest enthusiasm, and words flow from his mouth with such rapidity that the hearer -ean aearocly-help wishing that nature had endowed him with a donble vocal capacity, that he- might be the better able to give vent to the thoughts that crowd up for utterance. He manifests a desire in his address to speak into the audience rather than at them, unconsciously placing himself at the very edge of tbe rostrum, and leaning over as if to reach the very hearts of his hearers, until those . near can scarcely help feeling nervous for fear that he will miss his footing and be unceremo-: niously precipitated to the floor below. ! Mr. Vassar yesterday- made a practical, sensible speech, showing the sincerity of nis neart; ana irom tne manner in wuicu it was received it is evident he stands in deservedly high favor among the Bap tists. At the conclusion of Mr. Vassars ad dress the committee on Nominations made a report, nominating the following gentlemen for OFFICERS. President James M. Hoyt, of Cleve land. ' Vice President E. Thresher, of Day ton. Corresponding Secretary J. B. Sack- ett, of North Adams. Recording Secretary J. W. Osborn, ot Columbus. Treasurer D. A. Randall, of Columbus. Messrs. Allen, Hutton, Reynolds, Wed- dell and Hawver were appointed tellers, and the Convention proceeded to a ballot, resulting in the election of the gen tlemen above named. The Board of Trustees was re-elected. with a few changes made necessary ,by death and removal, after which the Convention adjourned. THE ANNUAL SERMON : Was delivered in the evening by the Rev. J. N. Svkes. of Lima, who took for his text the fourth verse of the fifteenth chanter of Lnke. The sermon was an ex position ot the voluntary or maiviauai system in religious affairs, maintained by the Baptist Church. The congregation was the largest that has been present in the church since the anniversaries com menced. STECBE1YT1LLE. Crystal Weddiajef Dr.aad Sirs. Ueed at the Female Cellege A Pleasant OmaiUa. Special Correspondence Pittsburg Commercial. STEUBESVitLS, Ohio. October 19, Is79. J A pleasant ride yesterday,- around and through the hills along the Pan Handle road, now clad in gay foliage of autumn, brought us to Steuben ville. This ancient city seems to be renewing its youth. The buildings, publio and private, in the process of erection, and the repaired sidewalks improve it greatly. Bnt our destination was the Female Seminary, where was to be celebrated the nrrstal wedding of Rer. Dr. and Mrs. Reed, the honored Principal of the Semi-nL,rr Viftaen vears aero thev had been joined in holy wedlock by Rev. J. S. Tre- velli, who now comes to giaaaen tne festivities. The occasion was enlivened by the presence of a few guests, and the teach ers and pupus oi tne institution aa array of youth and attractive loveliness that would have caused severe palpitation in the breasts of young men. In due time the familiar bell called us to a sumptuous repast, gracefully served by the fair hands of members oi the sen-inr e.lnss. After the feast of the body came the feast of reason and flow of soul. Toasts and sentiments were proposed and responses made. To a "Welcome Home," Colonel G.W. McCook, who with his fam ily had just returned from a European tour, replied very appropriately. Our hostess, in happily expressea woras, thanked the donor for beautiful crystal gifts of flower vases, toilet sets, sugar bowls, &c Rev. Mr. Dickey responded for the lady waiters, expressing the hope that they rnicht all live to celebrate their crystal wed din era. intimating, as some of the B.ndinca thonirht. that he would not ob ioit tnlw naxtner in the celebration J . . r- . i t i r . irr.i with some one oi tnem. xur. mr. vr kins replied for tbe clergy, wittily show ing how a minister may take a text and not touch it in his talk. - . ...

Lambert, by Miss Phillips, and the company adjourned to the parlor, where Colonel Beard made a happy speech in presenting to the "crystal wedded pair" a picture by oue of the first masters. Too soon the pleasant day closed, but it leaves pleasant memories in the minds of all. J . The Steuben ville -. Female Seminary, now forty-one years old, still prospers, and its worthy founders, Doctor and Mrs. Beatty, still live, enjoying the' esteem and confidence of all who know them. Dr. and Mrs. Reed are carrying on successfully the work which so long engaged their thoughts and prayers and labors. ', 'JiVKDEB, " ' A Terrible 'Affair aear While fiend, Kansas. The White Cloud Chief gives the fol lowing: On Monday of last week a man and woman, with several children, lit down in our town, and pretty soon the woman circulated around town with a paper, while the man (who carried a gun) went to the saloons to "cheek" lus fill of whisky. The woman s paper repre sented that she was a Mrs. Kimball, who, wim nor juusuaua. naa been captured and recaptured by Indians, but had finally made good their escape, and proceeded to New York, to join their friends; bnt there they learned that their friends had removed to Lawrence, Kansas, and they were begging means to carry them there. That afternoon they lett lor Forest City on wagons that were hauling wheat for Noyes and Moore. There were several young men along, and also David Mc- liregor, a Scotchman,, who had been living here for some time past.- Shortly after crossing the river, the stranger and McGregor, who were both drunk, got into a quarrel, and stopped by the side of the road, making preparations to fight. The teams passed on, and after going some distance the report of a gun was heard; and not long after the stranger came running up. The company inquired wnat be had done with Mac; to which he replied that they had made friends, and that Mac had stopped at a house along the road. Days passed on, and nothing was heard of McGregor, and it was feared he had met with foul play. On Sunday evening we took passage in the stage lor Forest City, at which time three young men, Robert Lied better, William tfoxly and Comstock, went over to search for this missing man. The stage driver remarked that he had encountered a very strong stench along the road, the day before, and tne spot indicated by mm corresponded with the one at which the two men were left quarreling. On approaching tbe spot, the stench was still there, and following the direction, tbe body of McGregor was found near the road, among some brush and small trees. He lay on his face, and the back of his head was alive with maggots. He had evidently been shot near the road and dragged back by the murderer before life was extinct. The ground was torn, as if the man had grasped it as he was dragged along. His woolen shirt was pulled upward, as if by dragging, and there was a naked space between bis stockings and tbe bottom of his trouser leg, the stock ings being stripped down, as u a person had grasped him by the ankles in dragging him. His hat had been placed by his side. He had undoubtedly been shot in the breast, and fallen on his face. As we were on our way irom home, to be gone the greater part of the week, we have not, at this writing, heard ot the result of a close examination. The murderer is a rillianons looking man, large in stature, wears a peculiar cap, and has long, black hair, which he wears in curls. The mnrder was doubt less cold-blooded in the extreme, without any provocation other than a drunken wrangle. A CTJBIOUS INCIDENT. Aa Ualacky Laser aad Ferlaaate Finder. Who can say, after reading this little story, that truth is not nearly as strange as fiction. A young man, a mechanic by trade, passed the evening in Brooklyn) about six weeks ago, and was returning to New York on the ferryboat at twelve; ninety-nine out of every one hundred persons always rush directly through a boat to the end nearest their destination, but this young man remained on the after part till t touched the dock, when he passed through the laoies' sitting room, and observed upon a seat a lady's satchel and umbrella. - Every one was hastening off the boat ; there were but three or four ladies in the whole party, so the yonng man seized the satchel and umbrella and hurried after the receding passengers. Holding both articles aloft, he hurriedly questioned several people. To none of these belonged the property he had taken possession of. After waiting about the ferry-houss some time, he took the captured articles home. Of course he expected that they would be speedily advertised, for the satchel, which was locked, and the umbrella were well worth some reward. But day alter day passed no advertisement appeared and he procured a key and opened the little bag, which contained f4,000 in Government bonds (unregistered), a port-monaie holding $100 in cur rency, a spienuia goia wancn ana cnain, a broken ring, a gold thimble, a locket containing an elderly man's portrait, a slip of paper, and in a female hand written these words : "I have waited and waited ; you do not come, and I have ceased to hope. E. P." Upon a marginal piece of some foreign news- paper was me line oi a noiei 111 iow York that does not exist. The yonng man consulted police headquarters, he went daily to the Morgue for some female to come ashore, but now nearly two months have gone by and no trace of the owner has been found. It is only by one of three suppositions this mysterious satchel can be accounted for. Either murder, suicide, or sudden insanity has overtaken the unfortunate owner. In the mean time the custodian of the unexpected fortune is half out of his wits with the embarrassment that besets his position. Senator Schurz, in his journal, TFest- lielus Post, says : It really seems to be Grant's opinion that it belongs to the functions of a President of the United States to do all the thinking for the citizens on any political question or issue. Who wonld have dreamt that the United States officers are to be selected not according to their ability or honesty, bnt according to their power or will in furthering General Grant's personal wishes and aims, mere seems 10 oe no donbt any longer that the guillotine will be put in working order in this part of tbe State (Missouri). Grant seems to believe that he is not tne r-resiueni 01 ue United States, but the President of the Republican party; that he was elected not for the protection of the interests of the entire people, but simply for the purpose of granting favors to his personal friends; that he is not the servant of the people, but their master. Well, go it! The people once already knew how to get rid of Presidents of quite different stuff; the day is not far off when Mr. Grant will feel sorry for his insaneconduct. The late Jeremia'K'Hasdn was once en- - gaged in a famous trial; In ' vhich , some good Methodist brethren were eoneerned. ' One morning, when the court opened, an ' over zealous friend of bla tfinn him, and is a solemn whisper said : "Mr. Mason, Mr. Mason, I :had a vision last , night. Gabriel appeared to me and told .' me that Brother A. was,' innocent. No ' mistake about it." "Very well," said the - man of law, not: so much, asi lifting -his ' - huge head from orer the table on which ) he was writing, iiVery-well f lUer hare Gabriel subpoenaed immediately ." ,,,,,, , NEW ADVERTJSE1TB1ITS , T IMES OF HOLDINE 'COURTS .

' l- A Toronto dispatch says Dr. Ralph, who was prominent ia tbe rebellion of 1837, died on Wednesday, aged 84. Reports from all parts of Virginia indicate that a largely increased amount of tobacco will be manufactured next year. The jury in the libel suit of Hon. D. J. Bennett against the Buffalo Cemmerdal Advertiser, after one hour and a half in deliberation, yesterday, rendered a verdict for the defendant. A letter was received at Washington yesterday .aft or aoon from Senator Morton, announcing' an improved condition in his wife's health. He will be in Washington in a few days. William Bobson, a negro, was fonnd dead on the farm of John S. Kelsey, in Montgomery county, on Wednesday morning. He had been at work, and it is supposed died of heart disease, . - : The bcilef in a steam saw-mnf ' owned by Samuel Smith, near Poland, Ohio, exploded Wednesday afternoon. ' The engineer was fatally injured. This is the second explosion at the same place lately. Information received at Washington1 shows that some more marines hare been ordered to New York, Ono hundred additional marines, new stationed in Philadelphia, are under orders to proceed to that city. A man in Buffalo pulled off his coat and jumped in the canal to save a woman from drowning, when a pick-pocket stole his pocket-book from his coat, and the woman swore at him for palling ber hair in his efforts to save her life. There isn't much inducement in Buffalo for a man to act as a retriever. Schenectady, New York, was visited with a' severe shock ef an earthquake yesterday forenoon. The inhabitants rushed, terror stricken, into the streets, and the excitement was intense. Much eoniosion prevailed, and it was impossi ble to ascertain whether any serious dam age had been done. The monthly calendar of fires in this country, where the loss is upwards of $30,000, for September, exhibits an alarm ing increase orer the previous month, and is altogether unparalleled for the same month in any previoos year. Tbe total for the month was $5,446,000. In September, 1869, it was $3,2 12, 000, making the increase p8U4,uuu. , , ; , ' , A telegram from ConneautvlIIe, Penn sylvania, October 20, says: At eleven o'clock this morning we felt two distinct shocks like that ef an earthquake, of from two to five minutes duration. Many persons ran into the streets in the fear that the buildings were falling, and some were quite sick from the effects, but no damage was none. . On but Thursday evening a man by the name of Jacob Workman, living near New Boston, Clermont county, Ohio,came from town beastly drnnk.

Tbe representations made by Prussia aa to the state of affairs in Paris, are affirmed as utterly untrue. France desires a peace a durable peace. NEWS YIA TOURS. Tours, October 20. The Prussians are returning toward Paris without seeking a battle with the French forces on the right bank of the Loire. The Prussians are still in peaceful occupation of Orleans. Owing to their great losses at Chateau d'Un, the Prussians nearly destroyed that town by fire. At Chateau d'Neuf, where the Prussians attacked and were beaten off, they took revenge by ex acting heavy contributions of money. The inhabitants paid the sum, heavy as it was, within 50,000 francs. The Ger mans then evacuated the place, but threatened to return soon and collect the balance or burn the town. The best answer te tbe Prasaian dis patches saying their loss waa trifling be fore Paris on the 13th, on the occasion of the sortie of the Parisians, Is found in an official military report just published, showing ihmk mttm Un MUo ilr Pn- sians demanded a truce of five hours in order to bnry their dead. Letters-received here from Paris to the 15th, state that eitizens and troops are still in the best of spirits, and hopeful as to the result. The Prussians have not been able to erect any batteries, owing to the terrible artillery fire from the forts and rigorons sorties of the besieged. A dispatch from Roc ray, near the Bel gian border, yesterday, announces that a balloon from Paris had just landed, Adrioea from Paris state that a number of Americans who had obtained passes from the Prussian authorities outside of the city fonnd it impossible to leare. The . Prussians explained that owing to certain strategical reasons Americans would not be allowed to leave by any of the nsual roads. The Prussians advised the Americans to leare by boat, going down the Seine, and promised their pro tection by that route. Minister Washbnme has informed Jules Favre that he himself will remain in Paris as long as the Government author ities, - ' . i . : ; It is announced that the supply of floor in Paris is sufficient for firs months. THE TIMES OX PRUSSIAN ARROGANCE. Las don, October 20. The Timet cen sures the arrogance of the Prussians in their terms for peace, and approves the language of the Emperor, that no Gov ernment yielding a foot of French terri tory aa a condition of peace could retain its power a day. It is rumored that the mission of La mier from the French Government to London was to negotiate a loan. ( :- ' The Stoning Telegraph has reason to believe that Bourbake's refusal to command the beaten army of the Loire was due to a very natural feeling, and that his offer to sommand the Aftay of the North is considered a subterfuge, as that army is not likely to be formed at all. CONDUCT OF THE PRUSSIANS. The sonductof the Germans in Orleans, according to the Prussian account: is different from that ascribed to them by the French., They, were perfectly orderly, and the occupation" was nnattended by any violence or ex tnrtiwn. - -: ! A Prussian paper says tliat in the absence of the skilled men from their usual Indus try, Germany is s heavier loser than France by the war. ; , .. '.' : . FROM CHINA. Later advices from China.. are much more pacific. A dispatch dated. Tsien-Tsien, September - 30, says that two Mandarins -had, been. iranepor ted, and fifteen men had been beheaded for com plicity in the outrages on French residents. Besides this, an embassy is preparing to go to France. The India mails are all forwarded by way of Brindise at present. ITALY. THE POPE. A circular has been issued by the Italian Government protesting against the rumors of ill treatment of the Pope. He is perfectly free and independent.

Hep worth proposed a sub stitute for article nine of the Constitution, inviting to fellowship all who call themselves cnristians. 1 lie amendment was disenssed pro and con with irreat spirit. Rev. C'althrope, of Syracuse, rep-resentinz the left win?, proposed an amendment that nothing therein shall be construed aa in any way interfering with the Christian basis of the Conference. Rer. J. May, of Newburyport, moved to substitute the words "Provided that nothing in this article be construed to remove the Conference from a Christian basis." Rer. J. L. Hatch proposed to amend Mr. Hepworth's substitute to read : "Those, who accept Christiaaity as interpreted simply as lore to God and lore to man." Rer. Bellows made a strong speech for letting the ninth article alone, and not attempting to declare lore to God and lore to man tne wnole object and end ot the denomination. The substitute of Rev. Morey was adopted. As amendments to tbe Constitution re quire a two-thirds assent, a rote by yeas and nays was called for, and resulted 216 yeas to 189 nays, a defeat of the proposi tion. The Convention then adjourned until tomorrow. EVANGELICAL EDUCATION SOCIETY..

The United States steamer Guerriere has been ordered to cruise around the bay of New York to insure respect for the presidents neutrality proclamation among armed ressels of the French and Prussian belligerents. CABINET GOSSIP. Hit now seems almost certain that Mr. Delano will not succeed Secretary Cox as Secretary or the Interior. When he decided to accept the appointment, it waa with the understanding that he should name his successor as Commis sioner. An unexpected pressure has been brought upon the President to recall his nromise to Mr. Delano, and consult lead- in ir politicians in selecting the new Com missioner of Internal Rerenue, which the President has felt lorced to yield to and accordingly Mr. Delano is informed of the change in the President's intention, as Mr. Delano's acceptance of the Interior portfolio was made contingent upon being allowed to name tbe new Commissioner, and will continue to remain in his present position! It is fully believed that Pennsylvania will now be represented in the Cabinet.PREPARING FOR NEW YORK ELECTION. .Information received here shows that some more marines hare been ordered to New York.

Jl'DGE GBIEB. A High Tribate af Respect ef the Vailed State rent Ceart at Lanis. From tbe St.' Loola Republics!!. Hon. J. R. Doolittle, of Wisconsin, (who is now engaged in the practice of law in Chicago), in the argument of an important case before the United States District Court in this city last winter, made the following eloquent allusion to tbe late Justice Grier, in his speech to tbe court and jury, and now that Justice Gner has passed away, we think it a just and proper tribute to his memory to pub lish it : . Qsxii.smfw or Tua Jurt . The bitch es! encomium ever pronounced nnou a judge retiring from the bench, I heard, not long since, 111 rraeuington. wnen Justice Grier left the Snpreme Court, in consequence of increasing infirmities, all tbe Judges, witn tne Chief Justice at their head) called to pay their respects to mm at nis rooms, it was my good lor- tune to be present. I shall never forget that scene, as they stood around that grand old man, whose infirmities would not allow him to stand. sitting in his arm-chair, his eye undimmed by age, his massive head covered with air white as snow. For a moment they stood around him in silence and in tears. Then the Chief Justice, in an address, beautiful in ex pression, full 01 pathos, yet true in every word, in a voice tremulous with emotion. read to him a farewell testimonial, sisrned by ail tne judges. After speaking of his great learning, his long experience, and his high judicial character, the Chief Justice crowned the encomium in saying, " You have, sir, a positive enthusiasm for justice ; you love the right, you hate tbe wrong." If the Court please, in all situations in this life, high or low, on the bench, or in the jury box whenever a man may be called to act upon doubtful and trying questions, without clear and certain lights, outside, to guide him, let him, like Justice Grier, look within ; let him consult that divine instinct which God has planted in every heart, stronger and often truer than mere reason, which says, "do justice; spare the inocent; punish the guilty only." Horace Greeley lately visited a western town where swearing is punished by a fine of twenty-five cents for each offense. Some one stole his umbrella and Eut a litter of kittens in his old hat, and, y compromising the matter the $200 be got for his lecture just paid for his swearing and f 4 over. Chicago Tribune.

CORRI8PONDIN0 SECRETARY'S REPORT. Professor Stevens, Corresponding Sec retary of the Society, read hissemi-an-nsal report. The report in the opening pressed the nseesafty of education in ' order to streng then the Baptist cause in the State. He said, that a question of great import ance waa the prosperity of Denison University at Granrille; that the college had no superior in Ohio. In referring to the work of the Society, he said the progress had been slow ; for eleren years the receipts had been only forty-two dollars per year. In 1842 the sum of 9500 was deemed a large sum to be raised in Ohio for Baptist educational purposes. For the four years following the contributions were $500, and for ten years preceding 1863 the donations to the Society were only $1,259, a fraction of $135 per year. From the organization of the Society up to June, 1863, a period of thirty-two years, the total proceeds ef the Society was only $5,523, distributed among serenty. During the last seven years the total sum was $22,474, and the number ot benehciaries lbo. $6,000 is necessary for the current needs of the Society during the present year. Beneficiaries of the Society during the present year have received free tuition, and preparatory students receive from eighty to one hundred dollars per year, wnicn naroiy supports tnem. The nresent nroceeda of the Kocintv are only about half of what is needed for the work. 1 he remedy tor the deficiency is work; with work will come a higher life in the churches as a whole, and increased liberality will be needed every year. The cause should have a competent superintendent, and a co-operation of all the ohnrches if the work is done. Nearly two-thirds of the young men studying for the ministry need help. The report closed with an earnest appeal to the Baptists of the State to extend aid and encouragement to Denison University at Granville. EDUCATIONAL SPIRIT. Remarks were made on the report, af ter its conclusion, by Messrs. Worrell, of Cincinnati; Carman, of Norwalk; Bryant, of Urbana; Shepardson, of Granville ; Sage, of Cincinnati ; Prof. Stevens, of Granville ; 'Jeffrey, of Cincinnati ; and Suydam, of Toledo ; and the sentiment manifested was unanimous in favor of increased earnestness in the work of education. The importance of education as a preparation for the ministry, as a help to the understanding of the people, and as a means generally of for-ward i n g ml i ui on s w sch, w as ehow u -in -an able manner. Indeed the fruit of educa tion showed itself in the discussion of the subject. A liberal, comprehensive, and practical riew was taken, and that kind of enthusiasm was manifested which showed that the Society was in earnest, and did not propose to let the matter stop with a mere array of words. ; REPORT OF COMMITTEE. " The committee to whom was referred the subject of the education of women made a report, recommending the formation of a Female Education Society im mediately after adjournment, which report was agreed to, and an adjournment forthwith followed. Feaiale Edacatiea Seeiety. Rev. J. C. Fernald, of Granville, offered for adoption a constitution for the Ohio Baptist Female Education Society, which was adopted. THK CONSTITUTION Provides tha$ the object of the Society shall be to create a deeper interest in the education of women ; to assist in the education of indigent females, preference to be given to the daughters of mission aries and pastors ; that the payment of one dollar shall, constitute membership for one year, and of twenty-five dollars membership for life; that the annual meeting shall be at the time of the com mence meat exercises at Granville ; that besides a President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer, there shall be a Hoard of twelve Trustees ; and that the Society shall be the legal recipient of lunds contributea tor lemale education. Quite a numbor of ladies and gentlemen present having signified their willingness to pay one dollar each and thus become members, the Society proceeded to the election of the following OFFICERS. President Rev. D. A. Randall, of Co lumbus. Vice President Rev. J. C. Fernald, of Uranvme. Secretary Rev. D. Shepardson, of Granville. Treasurer Mrs. E. M. Downer, of Granville. Board of Trustees Dr. M. Stone, Rev. A. H. Strong, Ker. a. a: Colby, Ker. K. Jeffrey, Irof. H. Thresher, President 8. Talbot, Mrs. Dr. Spelman, Mrs. E. S. Shepardson, Miss Mary O. Brooks, Mrs. George Parsons, Mrs. A. E. Stevens, of Dayton, and Mrs. Dr. Worrell, of Piqua. After appointing Mrs. D. M. Shepard son to take charge of the funds, and plaoe them in the hands of the Treasu rer, the society adjourned with prayer. Ohie Baptist State Ceaveatiea. The President, Mr. J. M. Hoyt, of Cleve land, called the Ohio Baptist Convention to order at 24 o'clock in the afternoon. After singing, led by Mr. Dunbar, Rev. Mr. Harmon, of Mt. Washington, conducted devotional exercises. PRESIDENT'S ANNUAL ADDRESS. President Hoyt then proceeded to deliver his opening address, to which the large assemblage in the church gave un divided attention. Mr. Hoyt is a rapid speaker, but at the same time gives his views clearly and distinctly, and in a shape that gives evidence of much profitable thought. His rare accomplishments as a presiding officer have been among the causes of his re-election to the Presi dency of the Convention several times. Apparently a strict Parliamentarian, he applies the rules without nndne formality ; and by an occasional check in one place and a practical sug gestion in another, he anticipates ob structions and keeps the business moving with admirable harmony, and prevents, to a great extent, those annoying entan glements to which almost every body of such a size is'more or less subject. In his address yesterday he displayed an exten sive knowledge and a superior education, and exhibited a zeal in church matters that would leave an impression that his field was the pulpit. He opened by al luding to the significant character of such a religious gathering, and reminded 'those participating of their high duties as they, stood .abreast with others ;. in the . great i conflict ; against wrong.- Political - bodies, - .he ' said, were born : ia the present life, but a religious body, with its relations to a higher life, waa the most significant, imposing and dignified fact in human affairs. He referred to the eventful history of the past year; to the presumptuous assemblage in the imperial city, as the representatives of absolutism, with the blasphemous declaration that their head was of infallible wisdom. Forty-eight hours after the insult war broke out, and their head was hurled from the throne. God had purposes he would fulfill ; however numerous were organizations for evil they wonld pass away ; justice might be expected to come out of the conflicts in Europe. Ideas, and not cannon, had dethroned the Pope. The address covered a ' considerable range, and was a very scholarly production. PROGRAMME. J lAt the conclusion of the address, Rev. J.W. Oaborn, from the Committee of Arrangements, presented a programme for the Convention, which was objected to on account of the fact that the missionary sermon had been placed on the list for Sunday, when many of the delegates wonld be gone. The report was accordingly recommitted for revision, and the Committee immediately submitted a programme for yesterday afternoon, which was adopted. COMMITTEES. The President then nominated the standing committees below, and the nominations were confirmed by the Convention.Enrollment B. Bedell, Xenia ; J. W. Icenberger, Columbus ; G. E. Leonard, Waseon ; W.

Col porteur of the American Tract Society, who furnished excellent entertainment for the Convention during the absence of the committee. Mr. Vassar is one of those plain, earnest men, with a marvelous quantity of information as to missionary work and church history, that are calculated to gain the attention of an audience and give . much practical instruction, and at the same time keep their hearers in an excellent humor without overstepping the bounds of propriety. Dressed very plainly, and not at all clerically, his whole energy appears to be wrapoed up in the work in which he is engaged. He exhibits the greatest enthusiasm, and words flow from his mouth with such rapidity that the hearer -ean aearocly-help wishing that nature had endowed him with a donble vocal capacity, that he- might be the better able to give vent to the thoughts that crowd up for utterance. He manifests a desire in his address to speak into the audience rather than at them, unconsciously placing himself at the very edge of tbe rostrum, and leaning over as if to reach the very hearts of his hearers, until those . near can scarcely help feeling nervous for fear that he will miss his footing and be unceremo-: niously precipitated to the floor below. ! Mr. Vassar yesterday- made a practical, sensible speech, showing the sincerity of nis neart; ana irom tne manner in wuicu it was received it is evident he stands in deservedly high favor among the Bap tists. At the conclusion of Mr. Vassars ad dress the committee on Nominations made a report, nominating the following gentlemen for OFFICERS. President James M. Hoyt, of Cleve land. ' Vice President E. Thresher, of Day ton. Corresponding Secretary J. B. Sack- ett, of North Adams. Recording Secretary J. W. Osborn, ot Columbus. Treasurer D. A. Randall, of Columbus. Messrs. Allen, Hutton, Reynolds, Wed- dell and Hawver were appointed tellers, and the Convention proceeded to a ballot, resulting in the election of the gen tlemen above named. The Board of Trustees was re-elected. with a few changes made necessary ,by death and removal, after which the Convention adjourned. THE ANNUAL SERMON : Was delivered in the evening by the Rev. J. N. Svkes. of Lima, who took for his text the fourth verse of the fifteenth chanter of Lnke. The sermon was an ex position ot the voluntary or maiviauai system in religious affairs, maintained by the Baptist Church. The congregation was the largest that has been present in the church since the anniversaries com menced. STECBE1YT1LLE. Crystal Weddiajef Dr.aad Sirs. Ueed at the Female Cellege A Pleasant OmaiUa.

J A pleasant ride yesterday,- around and through the hills along the Pan Handle road, now clad in gay foliage of autumn, brought us to Steuben ville. This ancient city seems to be renewing its youth. The buildings, publio and private, in the process of erection, and the repaired sidewalks improve it greatly. Bnt our destination was the Female Seminary, where was to be celebrated the nrrstal wedding of Rer. Dr. and Mrs. Reed, the honored Principal of the Semi-nL,rr Viftaen vears aero thev had been joined in holy wedlock by Rev. J. S. Tre- velli, who now comes to giaaaen tne festivities. The occasion was enlivened by the presence of a few guests, and the teach ers and pupus oi tne institution aa array of youth and attractive loveliness that would have caused severe palpitation in the breasts of young men. In due time the familiar bell called us to a sumptuous repast, gracefully served by the fair hands of members oi the sen-inr e.lnss. After the feast of the body came the feast of reason and flow of soul. Toasts and sentiments were proposed and responses made. To a "Welcome Home," Colonel G.W.

Our hostess, in happily expressea woras, thanked the donor for beautiful crystal gifts of flower vases, toilet sets, sugar bowls, &c Rev.

Too soon the pleasant day closed, but it leaves pleasant memories in the minds of all. J . The Steuben ville -. Female Seminary, now forty-one years old, still prospers, and its worthy founders, Doctor and Mrs. Beatty, still live, enjoying the' esteem and confidence of all who know them. Dr. and Mrs. Reed are carrying on successfully the work which so long engaged their thoughts and prayers and labors. ', 'JiVKDEB, " ' A Terrible 'Affair aear While fiend, Kansas. The White Cloud Chief gives the fol lowing: On Monday of last week a man and woman, with several children, lit down in our town, and pretty soon the woman circulated around town with a paper, while the man (who carried a gun) went to the saloons to "cheek" lus fill of whisky. The woman s paper repre sented that she was a Mrs. Kimball, who, wim nor juusuaua. naa been captured and recaptured by Indians, but had finally made good their escape, and proceeded to New York, to join their friends; bnt there they learned that their friends had removed to Lawrence, Kansas, and they were begging means to carry them there. That afternoon they lett lor Forest City on wagons that were hauling wheat for Noyes and Moore. There were several young men along, and also David Mc- liregor, a Scotchman,, who had been living here for some time past.- Shortly after crossing the river, the stranger and McGregor, who were both drunk, got into a quarrel, and stopped by the side of the road, making preparations to fight. The teams passed on, and after going some distance the report of a gun was heard; and not long after the stranger came running up. The company inquired wnat be had done with Mac; to which he replied that they had made friends, and that Mac had stopped at a house along the road. Days passed on, and nothing was heard of McGregor, and it was feared he had met with foul play. On Sunday evening we took passage in the stage lor Forest City, at which time three young men, Robert Lied better, William tfoxly and Comstock, went over to search for this missing man. The stage driver remarked that he had encountered a very strong stench along the road, the day before, and tne spot indicated by mm corresponded with the one at which the two men were left quarreling. On approaching tbe spot, the stench was still there, and following the direction, tbe body of McGregor was found near the road, among some brush and small trees. He lay on his face, and the back of his head was alive with maggots. He had evidently been shot near the road and dragged back by the murderer before life was extinct. The ground was torn, as if the man had grasped it as he was dragged along. His woolen shirt was pulled upward, as if by dragging, and there was a naked space between bis stockings and tbe bottom of his trouser leg, the stock ings being stripped down, as u a person had grasped him by the ankles in dragging him. His hat had been placed by his side. He had undoubtedly been shot in the breast, and fallen on his face. As we were on our way irom home, to be gone the greater part of the week, we have not, at this writing, heard ot the result of a close examination. The murderer is a rillianons looking man, large in stature, wears a peculiar cap, and has long, black hair, which he wears in curls. The mnrder was doubt less cold-blooded in the extreme, without any provocation other than a drunken wrangle. A CTJBIOUS INCIDENT. Aa Ualacky Laser aad Ferlaaate Finder. Who can say, after reading this little story, that truth is not nearly as strange as fiction. A young man, a mechanic by trade, passed the evening in Brooklyn) about six weeks ago, and was returning to New York on the ferryboat at twelve; ninety-nine out of every one hundred persons always rush directly through a boat to the end nearest their destination, but this young man remained on the after part till t touched the dock, when he passed through the laoies' sitting room, and observed upon a seat a lady's satchel and umbrella. - Every one was hastening off the boat ; there were but three or four ladies in the whole party, so the yonng man seized the satchel and umbrella and hurried after the receding passengers. Holding both articles aloft, he hurriedly questioned several people. To none of these belonged the property he had taken possession of. After waiting about the ferry-houss some time, he took the captured articles home. Of course he expected that they would be speedily advertised, for the satchel, which was locked, and the umbrella were well worth some reward. But day alter day passed no advertisement appeared and he procured a key and opened the little bag, which contained f4,000 in Government bonds (unregistered), a port-monaie holding $100 in cur rency, a spienuia goia wancn ana cnain, a broken ring, a gold thimble, a locket containing an elderly man's portrait, a slip of paper, and in a female hand written these words : "I have waited and waited ; you do not come, and I have ceased to hope. E. P." Upon a marginal piece of some foreign news- paper was me line oi a noiei 111 iow York that does not exist. The yonng man consulted police headquarters, he went daily to the Morgue for some female to come ashore, but now nearly two months have gone by and no trace of the owner has been found. It is only by one of three suppositions this mysterious satchel can be accounted for. Either murder, suicide, or sudden insanity has overtaken the unfortunate owner. In the mean time the custodian of the unexpected fortune is half out of his wits with the embarrassment that besets his position. Senator Schurz, in his journal, TFest- lielus Post, says : It really seems to be Grant's opinion that it belongs to the functions of a President of the United States to do all the thinking for the citizens on any political question or issue. Who wonld have dreamt that the United States officers are to be selected not according to their ability or honesty, bnt according to their power or will in furthering General Grant's personal wishes and aims, mere seems 10 oe no donbt any longer that the guillotine will be put in working order in this part of tbe State (Missouri). Grant seems to believe that he is not tne r-resiueni 01 ue United States, but the President of the Republican party; that he was elected not for the protection of the interests of the entire people, but simply for the purpose of granting favors to his personal friends; that he is not the servant of the people, but their master. Well, go it! The people once already knew how to get rid of Presidents of quite different stuff; the day is not far off when Mr. Grant will feel sorry for his insaneconduct. The late Jeremia'K'Hasdn was once en- - gaged in a famous trial; In ' vhich , some good Methodist brethren were eoneerned. ' One morning, when the court opened, an ' over zealous friend of bla tfinn him, and is a solemn whisper said : "Mr. Mason, Mr. Mason, I :had a vision last , night. Gabriel appeared to me and told .' me that Brother A. was,' innocent. No ' mistake about it." "Very well," said the - man of law, not: so much, asi lifting -his ' - huge head from orer the table on which ) he was writing, iiVery-well f lUer hare Gabriel subpoenaed immediately ." ,,,,,, , NEW ADVERTJSE1TB1ITS , T IMES OF HOLDINE 'COURTS .
